On january 14, 2021, olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received the literature titled "clinical review of tul cases at our hospital".This study was conducted on the transurethral ureterolithotripsy (tul) for 69 patients with urinary stones between april 2016 to september 2019.In the literature, it was reported that 14 patients of ureter mucosal damage including 4 patients who had developed perforation, and 6 patients of pyelonephritis including 2 patients who had developed sepsis.Based on the available information, the ureter mucosal damage and the pyelonephritis were not reported in a direct relationship with the olympus products.However, omsc assumes that these events might be related to the subject device since the subject device was used for tul.Especially, omsc presumes that the developed perforation and the developed sepsis were reportable events due to more severe than the ureter mucosal damage and the pyelonephritis.There is no description of the device's malfunction.Omsc will submit two medical device reports (mdr) of the subject device for perforation and sepsis.This is a report regarding perforation.
